Jensen Ackles and Eric Dane’s Crime Thriller ‘Countdown’ Is Tedious and Repetitive: TV Review
From "Chicago Fire" and "Chicago PD" creator Derek Hass, Prime Video's "Countdown" doesn't have the pacing or intrigue of most task force thrillers.
Determined to find Dardin’s killer, Blythe forms his new underground operation, Task Force Hurricane, and the team starts digging into the dead customs agent’s finances and history, leading them down an ever-winding and rather bumpy road. The special ops unit chases every lead possible, from bribes to Mexican drug cartels, a meddlesome L.A. District Attorney (Merrick McCartha) and corruption in the government of Belarus. After the season opener, “Countdown” squeaks along until Episode 10, “The Muzzle Pile.” Following the conclusion of Task Force Hurricane’s first assignment, the show flashes forward in time nearly a year, and a new mission is unveiled, one that is wholly more enticing than anything previously showcased in the series.
